Our precious friend, J.C. Love, JR. and co-worker at Gayfers', if my memory serves me correctly for over 40yrs. A wonderful manager of the housewares dept. with Annie Ware. Always busy, with a spring in his step and a smile on his face. Although I could write a book of our "OLE GAYFER DAYS',I will share this one back in the late 70'S we were doing inventory at Montgomery Mall Gayfers and a bad storm was headed our way with snow & ice. Management had been keeping track of it on the radio and around 1pm the city officials began to close major highways and roads. As a result management made the decision to stop the inventory and let everyone get home while they could. Our employee parking was on the north side of the building, right outside the Housewares Dept. and our cars windshields were all covered with snow & ice. Well, guess who, none other than our "wonderful dept. manager and faithful friend" J.C. standing at the door as we all went to our cars, handing out "spatulas" to all so we could scrap off our windshields to be able to get home. Always a helping hand, as we fondly remember, those were the good days !Ms. Voncile & J.C.,III, I remember meeting you both on many occasions while you were in the store,I know your hearts are heavy and I pray God's comfort and peace be with you all. I leave you with an old Irish Blessing, I have always found very peaceful. "May the road rise to meet you, May the wind be always at your back, May the sun shine warm upon your face, May the rains fall soft upon your fields, and, Until we meet again, May God hold you in the hollow of his hand ! Love, Sandy Ragsdale from the Lamp Dept.
Praying for you all. JC was a great co-worker at Gayfers. He always had a smile and a kind word. I never saw him get angry even expressing his feelings. He was very knowledgeable about his department. He will be missed. Got to meet JC III bc I'm a poll worker. Be encouraged. God will give you strength and peace. Love, Annie Ware.

To the Love Family, You have my deepest condolences. Mr. Love was a humble, mild spoken and very professional person. I will always remember the big smile he had each time our paths crossed.

He can and be that extra shoulder, leg, voice or whatever you need to go the extra mile. Keep looking up and take comfort in the many memories that you shared. Love each of you. Mattie Jones

To All my Cousins at this time I sit and try to process the passing of J.C.... he shared love as an active thing. A kindness towards my daughter and I when it was needed. My cup was empty when I called from Vermont. I was grateful for his conversation, compassion and concern. In those calls it was an opportunity to refill my spiritual cup. As cousin J.C. would talk of his family it made my heart smile with joy. I am unable to offer my own words at this time to convey my gratitude so I share a quote by Albert Camus "Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend. The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion." May his light live for generations in us and be added unto our children and community💯 fold. Cousin Stephen and Regina Jensen Farming in 💕Vermont🧕🏼
